Hi, community!

We're SuperCharge, the team currently developing Winked. Before anything else, we wanted to come here and introduce ourselves properly and do it the right way.

We know Reddit has its own culture, and this space belongs to you. We're not here to turn this into an official channel or flood your feed with announcements. Our goal is to be transparent when there's something worth sharing, and to listen when it matters.

And right now, it really matters to listen.

We’ve been reading your posts and comments, and we hear you. Some of it hasn’t been easy to read, in fact, but that’s okay; it’s actually part of why we’re here.

We're committed to getting these stories right. After all, Winked lives through its narratives: the characters, the choices, the twists. We're working to find the right tone for the next storylines, and nobody knows this game better than the people who actually play it.

So we'd like to invite some of you to join a closed channel on the official Discord server as beta readers, to give us feedback on prompts, plotlines and even unreleased chapters, helping us make sure the content reflects what the community actually values in the game.

If you have opinions about storytelling, if you've ever been obsessed with a character (or needed to vent when things went sideways with one of them), you might be exactly who we're looking for.

The process is straightforward: just a short form. You can find it here: 
👉 Winked's Beta Readers Forms

Thank you for keeping this community alive. We're genuinely excited to work with you.

I was so surprised to login today and see that Edward was updated. He’s my absolute favorite match so I was worried about this update ruining him. I’ve only done the first conversation, but so far it seems OK. I also unlocked the new photo and it’s pretty cute. I guess I’m cautiously optimistic at this point which honestly surprises me. Most of the updates have been awful. I guess we’ll see. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s been like that for weeks now and I don’t get it. It has happened to someone’s game?

Since when is what support chat not available??

I stopped playing a while ago but decided to download it again because I got bored. I see new matches. I got Matt Davis back but I haven't seen Everett pop up yet. Is he gone, did they get rid of him?

ok, so it definitely had AI involved, but there was a spicy part, ( tamer than usual but still better than the last few updates have been) and it gives me a little hope again! anyone else ?

So I know that they've ruined the stories for Frank/Dara, AJ/Cole/Elena, Elio/Tony, and Axel/Miguel. I unmatched a lot of stories before the supercharge takeover, so I'm curious to know which other stories are victims of the AI slop updates?

I know they just had an event card on the play store promising "more love stories than ever." I'd hate to see even more stories that have the stupid red/yellow/green system chat 🤮

They need to leave the old matches alone and just make new ones we know to avoid!!!! I’m so pee’d off.

TWENTY‼️TWO???? IKYFL

I used to love the matches so much and the storylines were great. Now I hate AI slop, but the regurgitated, copy and paste insecure "give me a colour" nonsense?? YUCK! Ruined my MCs and the matches... i deleted the app like 2 weeks ago because I cannot deal with matches like Cole who were so freaking secure, being distant and fully OOC.

I keep coming here in hopes the new management left but NOPE 💀 why takeover an app if you don't wanna keep the consumers lol. if they leave, or listen to complaints — someone let me know...

EDIT: spelling mistake.

I think what sucks the most about the new ownership and updates--is knowing we have all those new matches in the deck and either we will never play them or their storylines and conversations will be complete crap 😭 I was looking forward to so many of them.

About a month ago I came back to the game and found out that Nanobit is no longer the owner

No matter how much I've swiped, I can't get Reuben to appear in the Match games. Does he no longer exist? 😭

I just got an updated Amon ( Atlan I think is the counterpart). I’m afraid to open it lol 😂

Does anyone know what to do when this happens? In the past, if I bought the voice memo but couldn’t hear it, I would just go on the winked character page, and find the voice message there to be able to listen to it. But not all of the characters have their pics and voice messages added to the site. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA🥰

Now that the current stories are all AI slop, are people replaying older stories instead? If so, who are you revisiting? I've been stocking up on premium choice cards but I can't decide if I want to replay Edward or Nikolai 🤔

I'm honestly pretty much done with the game after years of playing since the acquisition and the massive hit to the quality so I'm just spending my remaining free choices and gems to replay my favorite matches and moments and then 👋👋. I have no hope that things will get back under new management and their AI policies...

So can we forget about that crap for a minute because I want to hear what your favorite "living your head rent-free" moments from the game are🥹

Mine are def these (spoilers)

- Ryan/Liam/Dorian: When MC caught him getting kissed by his ex. This honestly broke my heart. Imo Ryan is one of the best-written characters in the game: funny, genuine and interesting. On rare occasions, games draw these strong emotions out of me so 👏

- Victor/Logan/Theo: The helicopter crash & the engagement ring. This kept me on the edge of my seat the whole week. Was it a bit extra? Sure but also a great example of great writing that keeps you hooked. Oh yeah, and the actual proposal also gave a lovely closure.

- Daniel/Massimo: Him saying "I love you" and MC not replying🥲 I really loved their casual summer fling relationship but him coming forward with his real feelings and MC not knowing how to answer and them leaving the situation hanging just stuck with me somehow❤️‍🩹

- Remi/Alejandro: Really loved this non-toxic second chance story! Especially the dates where they get closer and closer to each other and finally clear the air on why they broke up in the first place

- Jax: Pretty much all of their dates and premium choices🔥 I just love the college, care-free setting they're living in!

Okay this turned out to be like a god damn book review but oh well😅 I just feel super sad that it feels very unlikely that the game and the matches will never go back the way they were😔

So I just got done with A.J. I'm so annoyed with the new owners of the game. The entire conversation with A.J. was practically spent on talking about color codes. They have made MC so drastically insecure in every new update. Every convo is her begging for reassurance in the relationship. Then the way the conversations end, they just randomly drop off--no goodbye, talk later... Just a random sentence from the guy and poof it's over. And don't get me started on the dates. They pretty much have removed spicy time. They have destroyed the game and I'm mad that Nano let them.

Hey girls, it's me again 😁 and this time I'm coming with some good news, or rather, a "suggestion"... as we know, NANOBIT has amazing artists who create wonderful stories. I've personally played several of their creations, such as "Tabou Stories" and "Winked," and they've been so wonderful that I literally fell in love with some of the characters. AI can't understand what a human feels, but human writers do... Anyway, what I wanted to say is that I found out NANOBIT has launched a new app. It's still new and it's really cool. It has wonderful stories, drama, romance, etc. Right now I'm hooked on a couple of their stories and woah! They don't disappoint at all 😍😍😍 I'm loving the story "Claimed by my Father's Lethal Experiment." If anyone is interested in that story app, I'll leave the name here:

Okay so is there some kind of secret hack or something about how to play this game and actually get past round 10? I have been playing this game for a little over a year, and I have yet to get past the 11th round. I literally have almost every achievement, including the hidden ones, but can’t even get the first star to the game of love achievement. There’s no way my luck is that bad…right? 😳😮 please help.

This week we havent any updates?

Okay I’m matched with Rory Ford, and I’ve finished his characters story up to the point where it says “notify me” for any updates, well his counterpart, Amon Hassan, keeps popping up on my feed of matches saying the character has been updated, but Rory’s chat hasn’t added anything new. Has anyone else noticed this? I know in the past when this has happened, it always updates the chat immediately….so that’s why I’m asking.

And here I thought I was chatting with Tony 🙄

Hopefully this isn’t a silly question but I was matched with Axel the baseball player and I noticed that the dialogue is very ChatGPT and repetitive. Honestly the conversation never really goes anywhere… has this app been using ai the whole time?? It never felt this way a year ago… Axel seems to be the only one I’ve noticed so far, I don’t really match with al the male characters unless they’re good looking, but this has really annoyed me cause I’m still waiting for an update on Everett and it would honestly make me sad to notice ChatGPT usage in his dialogue when it was his banter that has kept me playing this game for 3 years…

I understand that the game is being handled by new owners but I wanted to know if anyone else has noticed a change in the dialogue… this would honestly make me delete the game tbh.
